Is this a comb fungus?

Thanks PeeperKeeper, Sundown Waterfowl, and SpeckledHen!

Yeah, it's definitely not pecking- all of the chickens are quite polite with each other nowadays- 7 months now!!! I will try the iodine and hope that it all clears up soon. Actually, I think one of them had it like a month ago and she is healed now, but she must have spread it to the others. She didn't have it nearly so bad and I thought it was just some small pecking wounds or something. I will just keep an eye on them and make sure it doesn't start getting really bad.

Does anyone know if there's anything I can feed them that would help them get better? Would vitamin C help their immune system like it does ours??? (I know that's probably really far fetched, but it's worth asking!)

smores, etc... I hope your RIR gets better soon too! (btw- what's an RIR???)

Can you eat the eggs while the chicken is diseased or should we throw them out?

We've been eating our eggs and it seems to be just fine. I think they are not laying as much, though, since they're systems are probably a little stressed.​
